Deep dives

Shifting from Self-Focus to Systems Thinking

When faced with failure, individuals often default to self-blame, asking what is wrong with themselves rather than assessing the broader context. The concept of systems thinking suggests that instead of personalizing the failure, one should analyze the systems in place that led to those outcomes. For example, when an Etsy store doesn’t perform well, shifting the focus to the underlying business system can illuminate why the result occurred, allowing for constructive evaluation. Acknowledging that systems are always present, whether intentionally created or not, helps make failures feel less personal and more about the processes that need refinement.
